Saintpaulia, commonly known as African violet
Saintpaulia was discovered back in 1892, in what we now know as Tanzania, by a German official called Walter Saint Paul. He introduced the plant to Germany where it quickly became very popular among flower lovers. The plant was named Saintpaulia after this man. As its flowers resemble the violet flowers, its common name ended up being African violet. The plant was hybridized in 1927 and its cultivation started, with many varieties being introduced ever since. The new hybrids had flowers of different colours and leaf shape. The plant was introduced to the USA around 1940 and many new varieties were created in this continent as well.
Beautiful Photograph, great colors, clarity and well presented...
Thanks for sharing...
Your friend, Peter
